Spring Touches

I have been cruising Pinterest looking for spring inspiration. I don't use pastels for Easter so I love to find ideas with more muted colors to decorate with. We moved some furniture around last weekend and the dry sink is now in front of the window here. Do you know the wood candle sticks, the yellow bowl which I painted, one of the crocks and the tin heart electric candle are all from the thrift store. You really can decorate on a tight budget.

I kept all my prim touches and just added a pot of silk flowers and a chicken. I have cut back on the holiday decor and just want to tuck seasonal touches here and there.

I bought these adorable chicks and the tiny salt and pepper shakers along with a burlap runner for my spring table centerpiece. I need to find a new tablecloth and get the table decorated. They had the chicks arranged with small bird houses and clumps of green moss. It was simple and screamed spring. I want to find some of the mossy rocks they had. That way I can leave the chicks out through May when I change over for Memorial Day.

I also need to work with more muted colors, basically cream, green, peach, very soft yellow, and I also need to be thrifty. No need to add to my collection, I have been scaling down for a while. Feels good. xo

What a lovely washstand!! A family piece??? You know - that would make such a nice baby changing table!!! I know this isn't what your posting is about - but I really enjoy furniture/wood and it's history. . . .

The simplicity you chose to decorate for Spring is so non-fussy. I like it. Today, I tweaked a few things around home. For the moment my red hutch is now sporting a few bunnies. Have a great weekend, Elaine.Smiles,Carolynn xo

I love your ideas for your Easter decorating Elaine and I agree with you it doesn't have to cost a mint.I do love your sweet chickens!Sending you some warm Summer sunbeams from my corner of the world!I've popped in from Caudia's..A favorite ThingShane ♥

I love the chicks, Elaine. They remind me of some of the chicks in my egg cup collection. I don't really decorate for the seasons. But I will highlight my egg cups in the coming week - an annual Easter time tradition. Yes, bring on Spring!

I love the way you decorated for Spring, Elaine. It looks wonderful with those lovely wooden pieces and soft pastel flowers... like spring in a forest! Those chicks are adorable and I'm sure they'll look lovely on your table.
